Criticize all you want, but ...

Saint_LB -- I think you like this draft somewhat? And you\'re pretty hard on the team. So, if you\'re half-way pleased then it can\'t be all bad ...

Is there any one player the Saints could draft this weekend that would make you think the Saints are a true playoff contender?

No, not just one. However, if they drafted one of the \"killer B\'s\" (Barron, Barnes, or Brown) to play OT so Mayberry can play his natural guard spot, and a solid LB that pans out...and that is the critical part...then I would be less \"pessimistic.\" I am not sold on DJ, however, for the LB spot. From the little bit of video I\'ve seen on him, he appears to lanky to be successful in the NFL. I have read in this forum that he has bulked up, but I have not seen that myself, and my Dad always told me not to believe any of what I hear, and only half of what I see.

This was my response before the draft, so you can see that I pretty much got what I wanted. Never heard of Fincher, but he is a LB. If he pans out, then I got exactly what I asked for!!
